New (Old) Dining Room Table

Hello!  Wow, it's been a while hasn't it?  I'm still working on projects but just have been too busy to blog about them.  This past month, hubby and I worked on a couple of dining room projects and I wanted to share them with you here.

First up, a longer, more rustic dining room table.

Since our home is over 100 years old with our dining room being one of the biggest rooms in the house, I've always envisioned a long, very worn looking farmhouse table to go in the room.  Something that looked like it had been there all those years, with all kinds of history and stories behind it.  I had tried to create that several times with two different dining tables that I had built but I was never completely happy deep down with them.  But I am now.  I love what my hubby and I created, using the beautiful white table legs that my dad turned himself before he passed away.

Here's a look.....

We used barn wood from a very old barn in the country.  We cleaned and sanded it smooth.  I wanted to leave the table and sides raw so that's just what I did.   Our children are no longer little so I'm not worried about it getting stained or ruined.  After we use it, I just wipe it down with a damp rag.  Because the wood is very old and worn, imperfections will not bother me.  For those wondering, this table is 8 feet long and 3 feet across.

 
I adore all the cracks, worn edges and nail holes.   To me, that creates lots of character.

To build the table, I followed the same process that I shared here.

The other project we worked on together was a very rustic buffet that we also built from the same barn wood.

Very simple and rustic, which is what I like.  And both projects cost us absolutely nothing other than time and sweat as we had all the materials.  I love projects like that. 

Hope you are enjoying your summer!
